Duplex-specific nuclease

cat.# EA001; EA002; EA003; EA008

- Selectively cleaves ds DNA and DNA in DNA-RNA hybrid duplexes
- Discriminates between perfectly and nonperfectly matched short duplexes
- Inactive towards ss DNA and RNA
- Thermostable
- Inhibited by EDTA

Duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) is an enzyme purified from hepatopancreas of Red King (Kamchatka) crab (Shagin et al., 2002). DSN shows a strong preference for cleaving double-stranded (ds) DNA and DNA in DNA-RNA hybrid duplexes, and is practically inactive towards single-stranded (ss) DNA or single or double-stranded RNA. Moreover, the enzyme is capable to discriminate between perfectly and nonperfectly matched short DNA duplexes. DSN is widely used for full-length enriched cDNA normalization (Zhulidov et al., 2004; Bogdanova et al., 2011a) and for construction of normalized RNA-seq libraries for next generation sequencing ((Christodoulou et al., 2011), Illumina DSN normalization protocol). The list of approved DSN applications also includes normalization of genomic DNA (Shagina et al., 2010), cDNA depletion and ribosomal cDNA depletion (Bogdanova et al., 2009; Bogdanova et al., 2011b; Yi et al., 2011), cDNA subtraction (Peng et al., 2008), SNP detection (Shagin et al., 2002; Liu et al., 2011), construction of repeat-free FISH probes (Swennenhuis et al., 2012), multiplexed fluorescence detection of miRNAs (Yin et al., 2012), quantitative telomeric overhang determination (Zhao et al., 2008; Zhao et al., 2011), etc.

DSN was purified from Red King (Kamchatka) crab hepatopancreas using modified protocol from Shagin et al., 2002. DNAase activity was measured using modified Kunitz assay (Kunitz, 1950), where unit definition was defined as: the amount of DSN added to 50 μg/ml calf thymus DNA that causes an increase of 0.001 absorbance units per minute. Activity assay was performed at 25°C, in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.15, containing 5 mM MgCl2.

Shipping and Storage conditions:
All components of the kit can be shipped at ambient temperature. Upon arrival all components must be stored at -20°C.
